Assuring the best care at the lowest cost

We improve the quality of care and lower healthcare costs by making sure your group members receive the most appropriate care.

It's no secret that healthcare costs are too high.

Too large a chunk of healthcare costs is spent on waste – services, procedures, and medications that your group members don’t really need. And, some services just cost too much. Our URAC-accredited Medical Management services, performed by our in-house clinical team, ensure that your members get the right care at the right time, and at the right price.

Utilization Management

Our utilization management programs promote the delivery of high quality, medically necessary, and cost-efficient healthcare through individual case review and assessment using our custom-built medical management platform. The program focuses on all aspects and stages of the patient’s care by utilizing prior authorization, concurrent and retrospective review, and discharge planning for medical and behavioral health conditions.

Case Management

Some members need a little more focus and attention from clinicians. Our complex case management program addresses the unique needs of these members while improving member health and lowering costs. We identify members with complex and catastrophic conditions who would benefit from an individualized, tailored case management program. Through direct member outreach, registered nurses establish one-on-one relationships with members, uncover their needs and challenges, and help them attain their personal wellness goals.
